AN AWFUL WINTER.
Montana Ranges Devastated by the Sever
ity of the Weather.

montana Ranges Devastated by the Sever
ity of the Weather.
AssINABoINE, NJ. T., Feb. lg.-For a
period extending over the last six weeks
unprecedented SHOWS, billiards and gales
of wind have ragged through the northern
and western portion of Montana. The
present season is acknowledged to DE the
most severe of any winter for the last ten
years, for days in succession the mercury
ranging between 10 and 40 below zero.
The main range OF the Rockies mas along
its entire length through Montana from
two to six feet of snow.
There IS an average depth of twenty
inches of snow upon the prairie. Drifts
have formed upon the cattle ranges to re-
markahle depths, and the surface of the
snow is covered with crust too thick for
the cattle to break in order that thew NAV
reach grass. Stock of all kinds is suffer
ing IN the most fearful manner, and while
some cat,lemen estimate the probable loss
at % per cent, the majority claim to have
quit figuring on the loss, and will be
thankful if they have enough left to start
anew in the spring.
Lay Is very scarce and naturally in
great demand. As high as $50 per ton
Is being paid with the greatest aIacrity,
Tie various mail coach lines have been
the greatest sufferers by the impossible
roads, the delay of mails and the NOR
tally among their stock, the Helena and
Benton Stage Company alone having lost
thirty head of horses since Christmas.
Should prolonged chinook set in now
there would be sudden breakup of the
Missouri river from Benton down caus-
ing tremendous gorges and an immense
amount Of destruction. Great
and continued cold weather has
caused in many places a serious fuel
famine. At this place where thousands
OF cords OF wood are consumed annually
the supply contracted for to last the fs-
cal year, ending June so, is nearly ex-
hausted, and it would be impossible to
secure more at the present time. In the
town OF Fort Benton the question of fuel
Is becoming most serious, especially to
the poorer classes, who are unable to paw
the exorbitant prices demanded. Infe-
rior cotton wood is easily sold at S14 g.
cord, and ranchmen living along the
Teton bring in green willow poles and
dispose of them at from 50 to Sl2 loads
The last train of wagons loaded with msrI
chandise was over thirty days reaching
Benton from lena, 100 miles.

manship are all the rage Just now in Paris
There are bracelets, brooches, clasps fol
NANTES and jackets, watch chains and
beautiful chatelaines, with three or five
chains, and an ornamental hook.
For mourning toilettes during the com
ing spring, sateens, imperial serges, Arm
ures, silks and cheviots are among the
fabrics which will begin the season.
Armures are shown in white as well as
black, the former being, of course, just
as deep mourning as the latter; the white,
however, must be perfectly pure-a tinge
of cream in it renders it wholly unf. for
this purpose.
The close French bonnet promises to
hold its own the coming season, Judging
by the printed plates and other models
sent over 8s announcements of forthCCm-
ing styles in headgesr. Pointed, gabled,
and horseshoe crowns are shown among
the majority of these shapes, and the body
entire is still the diminutIve toy head
dress that it has been for two seasons
past.
Scarfs, TO be worn as fichus, are in tilmy
crepe dc chine or Canton Grape, of the
most delicate tints, and long enough TO
afford graceful drsping and tying.
The old fashion of wearing scarf with
an evening dress has been revived on one
or two rich costumes, the sCarfs being of
heavy cord, woven fiat, into very hand
some designs, usually in several colors
they are brought from one shoulder, fall
gracefully down the back; then caught up
to the other shoulder and Topped across
the front.
India silks are more popular than
French foulards, owing to their superior
durability. White India silks, with all
over patterns of graceful lines in BLACK,
blue, brown or scarlet, will make pretty
summer dresses, and there are many
Vatican and POmpadour designs of roses
and pinks in pale and charming colors.
Lace Is no longer used in prOfusion to
trim these light silks, velvet having SUI
perseded it.
Surahs with large, wide Diagonal tWills
are shown in all solid colors and in many
plalds, some of the prettiest being dark
blue crossed with pink or lighter blue;
Suede, with bars OF rose and green, and
green grounds barred with pink. These
are to be made up in entire dresses, not
combinations, with velvet collar, vest and
cuffs; the skirts bordered with velvet, or
The sleazy diagonal woods OF light quail
ity are shown in all dark co'ors, with
white lines and bars, like that which had
such immense popularity last summer.
However, the method of making them up
will be quite different, the kilt plaits and
smooth short lavandeuse drapery being
replaced by plain skirts and voluminous
Grecisn drapery. The sailor hats almost
invariably worn with these suits last year
will be replaced with the brimless tur-
ban.
Drab and tan shades, brown and gray
are largely represented in what is called
covert cloth for short covert coats to be
worn with suits of wool of lighter colors,
or as an occasional wrap to go with al
most any dress. There are also loosely
woven English cloths in small blocks of
two or three color5-such as olive with
blue or red with brownie make travel
ing suits or the suits worn in the morn
ing for shopping, or any use, except for
visits and afternoon entertainments

A Poor Driver.

An accident happened on Upper
Main street yesterday morning which
might have resulted more seriously.
As car No. ii OF the Sixth-street line

The animal was turned completely

bruises. The car was crowded and
quite commotion was caused among
the ladies on account of the accident.

A Serious Accident.

Saturday DR.. Coles horse and buggy
was standing in front of Whites paint

thrown out and quite severely injured
about the body and hips. Tuthill's
horse became frightened and ran down

McDougals' carriage and is now rest
ing easily, although he is badly

A Specimen of Prosperity.

Hon. A. l.. Conklin, of Inyo county,
accompanied by his wife, is visiting
the city. The readers of the HERALD
will remember that Judge Conklin
about four years ago bought the old
Highly place." on the corner of South
Main and Adams streets for $12, 900.
The land consists of thirteen acres
well improved, which the Judge has
Just sold for $4,000. Two years ago
he offered to sell the property for
500, 900. He thinks Los Angeles is
improving and that the ID. o. Mills
railroad will be extended from Owens
Lake to Mojave in short time to con-
meet with the Southern Pacific at that
point for Los Angeles. The Judge
says there are mountains of coal in
Inyo county which can be sent down
by this line to the metropolis of South
California. He expects to start home
in about week by rail via Sacramen-
to, and will have to travel 800 miles to
accomplish his journey, while if the
ID. o. Mills road were constructed the
distance would be about $50 miles
from Los Angeles, and coal could be
delivered at half the present rates.

A Weak Prosecution.

The examination OF James and Har-
riet Cappel, who were arrested few
days ago upon a charge OF i'll treating
and starving their three months old
baby, came up to-day. A long string
of witnesses were examined for the
prosecution, but not one of them knew
anything connected with the case.
They could not swear that Mrs. Cap
pei abused the infant or that she did
not properly care for the child. The
Court stated that he had no doubt but
that the parents were in the habit of
going ON sprees, but the evidence did
not justify convicting them, hence he
dismissed the charge.
